Howe Caverns

The cave which lies deep, began forming several million years ago as water incised deeply into the Heidelberg Plateau's limestone, joining the Cobleskill Creek and forming caves and karst features. The cave is thought to have formed at a similar time and be physically connected to nearby McFail's Cave, although the connection is impassible due to sediment buildup. Both caves, as well as Secret Caverns, were also found to be hydrologically connected by dye tracing the nearby caves to Howe Cavern's River Styx. Ancient faults are present within the cave, although the cave itself does not seem to be fault-controlled.
